WELLS, Aug. 21.-Rev. F. E. Hall,
pastor of the Methodist church in this
village, is we'll acquainted with the
parties connected with the GAINESVILLE
elopement and when he heard the first
rumor of the elOpement he wrote Mr..
Henry that he had reason to think the
guilty pair headed for England, as Sey-
mOur had informed him but a short
time before that he had been offered
situation in England and would like to
return to that country. MIR. Hall says
that for some time past there had been
considerable trouble between Seymour
and his wife, who was very jealous, and
as now appears with very good
reasons, though he succeeded in
hiding his wickedneSS SO well
that the SympathieS of the
people were all with him, as he made it
appear that she was unreasonable and
Jealous without cause. In burst of
confidence he told Mr.. Hall all about his
domestic troubles and made himself APP

has received letter from JaneSville
which states that Rev. Seymour and Mrs.

This has kept prices of green fruit
down so that fruit contracted for early

WEATHER AND CROPS.
The Yield of Corn in Dakota to be
Very Large.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-TO-day's sig
nal office weekly weather crop bulletin
saws that the weather for the past week
has been favorable throughout the corn
belt, the recent rains having greatly i'm
proved the condition of that crop, but
owing to the lateness of the rains in the
principal producing states the yield
will probably be below the average.
The weather has been generally favor
able for all crops in Kentucky, Tennes-
see. Virginia and in the Middle Atlantic
and New England states. In Minnesota
the uncut crops were improved, and
harvested crops damaged by rains. The
Chicago Farmers Review reports for
the week as follows:
HThe average condition of the corn crop in
the states reporting is as follows: Twenty
six counties in Illinois report an average con-
ditiOn of the crop of 50.4 per cent; eleven
counties in Wisconsin, $50 per cent: ten
counties in Ohio, 69.5 per cent; eleven
counties in Missouri, 63 per cent; ten cOun-
ties in Michigan, 45.5 per cent; seven coun-

Three Fatally Wounded.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 21.-A ter
rible tragedy was enacted in the Chicka-
saw Nation Friday last, in which three
persons were fatally wounded. Two
families named Harrison and Graham
became involved in quarrel about
Harrison's daughter, whom young Gra-
father declined to allow the marriage.
The young man threatened to shoot
Harrison, and the latter's son, believing
his fathers life in danger, shot Gra-
ham, inficting a mortal wound. A
young brother of the wounded mar,
seeing his brother fall, shot young Har-
rison through the arm, when the elder
Harrison, who had armed himself, re-
appeared and was also shot by Graham.
Members of the families, who were alb
sent from the camp, hearing the firing,
came up and prevented further blood
shed. 1t is thought the three men will

MACKAY'S RETURN.
Speculation Regarding His Suf:

fering by the Wheat Deal.
Special to the Globe.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.-John W.
Mackay's return to this city was the cue
for all sorts of stories regarding him and
his interests to be set afiOat. 1t has
been generally asserted that he lost
heavily by the collapse of the wheat
corner, and, though he has strenuOusly
denied this every time it was brOached
to him, many believe he is poorer man
to-day than before the wheat deal as
sumed its present shape. Shortly after
his arrival a rumOr in mining circles
stated that he intended engineering
stock deal to recover his al
legged lesses in wheat, but up to
the present time the deal has shown no
symptoms of existence. Another
rumor, which was, however, quickly
and emphatically denied, was that new
blood was to be brought into the Nevada
bank by selling all interest in it to two
prominent capitalists of this city. This
is now known to be unfOunded. Find
ing Mr.. Mackay apparently impregna-
BILE, Dame RumOr shifted her ground to
his partner, j, G. Flood, and reported
him seriously ill. The last report con-
cerning Mr.. Flood was to the effect that
an operation was performed on him
during the past week to relieve him
from sufferings caused by kidney COM
plaint, by which he is alleged to be con-
fined to his house, His son, James L.,
denies all reports of his fathers serious
illness and states that he is only affected
with eye trouble. Yesterday he stated
regarding his fathers condition:
My father is steadily improving. He was
out carriage riding last evening and drove all
around MenlO park and enjoyed livery much.
He says that, in view of the reports circulat-
ing about his health. he is going to San Fran
cisco early next week to show the people he
is not the sick man he has been misrepre-
sented to be. All stories and reports that his
health is now failing are untrue.
Mr.. Mackay's lines have not been un-
pleasant since his return to the Pacific
coast. Shortly after his arrival he was
advised that the French government
had conferred upon him one of the
most distinguished honors within its
power to grant, by making him an Off
Ger of the Legion of Honor. At the
same time he received decorations of
offices, consisting of red rosette and
diamond cross. He was thus hOnOred
for services in placing France in direct
telegraphic communication with the
new world by making Havre the termi-
nus of his Atlantic cable.

Business on the San Francisco
Produce Exchange to Open Up.
Special to the Globe.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug .21.-The board
of directors of the produce exchange
finally adopted the new constitution and
rules last week, and announced that
daily sessions of the call board would be
resumed on Monday. 1t is eighteen
days since it closed, and there has been
no market in wheat since then. The
long hiatus in its sessions has allowed
all excitement and bitterness to die out.
According to the revised rules there can
be no trading in old contracts. These
will have to be filled or lcanceled by par
ties holding them. Much interest is
manifested as to what the open price of
wheat will be. Dresbauch is said to be
shipping large number of cargOes of
wheat and raising money in them. By
this means, it is reported, he may be
able to take delivery of his contracts be-
fore the expiration of the four months
allowed him by the terms of his settle

LONDON, Aug. 21.-Not only will all

the Liberals will turn out in full force
also. Urgent whips have been issued
by both parties. There is an eager in

pected to make an interesting, if not

of the fate which attends mere oppOr-

indicating that the government cannot
probably count on the full support of
the UniOnists. This fact, taken to-
gether with the probable difficulty of
getting a full attendance of the dis
heartened Tories through the remainder
of the session, may cause the govern
ment a good deal of embarrassment.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 21.-Recent dis
patches from this city regarding tho
condition of the state treasury may
lead to erroneous impressions. 1t is
only the general fund that is exhausted,
and this is temporary affair that fres
quently happens. The other funds are
not depleted, and it has been the cus-
tom of former treaSurers to draw tem-
porarily from these. However, money
will soon be coming in from the vay
rious counties, and then the revenue of
the state, after the commencement Of
the fiscal year, Nov. 1, will replenish
the treasury. There is nothing in the
situation that will in any wise affect the

The Strength of 1t Induced the
Lange Children to Walk 16O
Miles and Endure Terrible Hard
ships.
Special to the Globe.
WoRTHINGToN, Aug. 21.-The local
papers here have been devOting a good
deal of space recently to the case of the
Lange children, who twice escaped
from the state public school at Owa-
tonna, and made desperate efforts to
reach their mothers home in Murray
county, walking the entire distance
across the country. The case is one of
the saddest and most peculiar onrecord.
One of the accounts published here re-
lateS that the children reached the
vicinity of the Stokes place several
days ago, and that the girl who escaped
with them went to Mr.. Stokes house
for food and was detained by him. The
Lange children, evidently fearing to be
caught and returned, disappeared. The
hunt was begun, and after long search
they were found at Radent's Corners, in
the edge of big slough in Seward
township. They had nearly reached
home and had sunk down, it seems,
starved and exhausted. The oldest girl
had an ear of corn and some wheat in
her possession. The little one, the baby
of the three, was totally blind and may
remain so for life. The poor children
were emaciated and nearly dead, and it
is thought could not have survived an
other day. At one place, it is said, they
hid in wheat field for three days. The
distance across the country is put at
about 100 miles. Part of the way the
little one had to be carried. Some of
the men in the party of rescuers were
in Andersonville prison, and they say
that they never knew of greater
tenacity of purpose and fortitude
in escaping prisoners than was
displayed in these modern "Babes
in the Woods - in their terri
bly, earnest and distressing purpose to
reach their mother. They say, also,
that they never witnessed more heart
rending scene than was witnessed when
the blinded, emaciated, exhausted and
starved little ones were brought to the
mother. There is great excitement in
Fulda over the matter, and determined
men declare the children shall not go
back. They stand ready to give them
good homes in the neighbOrhOOd. The
Lange family were drawing on the poor
fund, and the law required that the chill
dren should be sent to the state public
school. 1t is asserted that Lange was a
soldier, and that he died insane from
wounds received in battle. If SO the &.

On Board the Galena to Ladies of
Bar HarbOr.

BAR HARBOR, Me-, Aug. 21.-The re-

afternoon to the ladies of Bar HarbOr
surpassed any entertainment of the
week. The reception was rendered by
the officers of the North Atlantic squad
ron. Mrs. Secretary Whitney received,
assisted by Mrs. Commander Chester.
The ship was elegantly decorated with
flags and bunting, while large canopy
was stretched over the deck, from which
the large guns had been removed. Mu-
sic was furnished by the band from
the United States steamer Richmond.
At about 4 O'Clock salute of
nineteen guns announced the arrival of
Secretary Whitney, who came on board,
accompanied by Commander Wilde and
several friends. Admiral Luce came
shortly after. Later in the afternoon
refreshments were served and dancing
was INDUCED in. Congressman BOu-
telle was among those present. A re-
ception will be held on board the flag
ship Richmond next Tuesday. The
squadron will probably sail for New
port on Wednesday. Admiral Luce and
family will probably remain here a
week OF ten days longer.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Harry Ts
Cook, aged twenty-one, and Charles T..
Cook, his brother, some years younger,
were arrested here this afternoon, the
older for forgery and the younger for
collusion. Their plan of operations was
novel and ingenious, and but for an
oversight, which they might easily have
avoided, they could have gone on in-s
definitely in their course. Harry was
the discount clerk in the Columbia Ma.
ton bank, where, of course, he had
access to the signatures and accounts of
the banks patrons. 1t has been shown
by investigation that he some time ago
disguised himself and, under an as.
Sumed name, opened an account in ans
other bank. They then forged one Of
the names of the Columbia banks
depoSitors to check, payable td
himself under his assumed names
and got his younger brother to deposit
them to his account. The checks, after
they had been returned to the Columbia
bank for collection, and after they had
been paid and entered in the books
were secured by the forger and de3
Stroyed. The culprits are the sons Of
the late Prof. Cook, of this city. Tha
name forged to the checks is that OF

Was Issued.

A Nebraska Mob Hangs q
Negro to a Telegraph Pole
for an Assault,

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-It is said that
some very damaging evidence against
the Doodle aldermen is in the possession
of a piratical employe of the old sec
tional underground electric light com
pany, who stole all the books of the
company and sold them for a ransom.
The books disappeared from the office
of the company, and it was shortly given
out that they would be returned for a
fair price from the parties against whom
they contained discriminating evidence.
This evidence is said to consist chiefly
of the stub-bOokS of the stock of the
company which was issued to the bOod-
lerS. The stock was issued in blank,
but for the convenience of reference the
stubs were filled in in pencil with the
actual names of the aldermen to whom
the stock was issued, and the stubs also
show the way it was pro rated. After
this blank stock had been in existence
long enough for the ordinance to pass
the city council the boOdlers were again
informed that they could unload their
stock by applying to a certain agent of
the company ON Dearborn street. The
stock was accordingly sent around and
cash taken in lieu of it. The original
stub-books, together with all other
books of the company were preserved,
however, and are now marketable COM
modities. j. D. Cohrs, the president of
the company. was asked if he knew or
had heard that the stub of the stock
certificate book of his company
had been stolen. He secuted the
idea of such thing, and, though adj
mitting that it might have been done
prior to his becoming president of the
company, he expressed the opinion that
if any of the aldermen ever received any
of the stock of the company they were
badly fooled, as it was. next to worth
less. He also explained that the COM
pany retained corporate existence, al
though a majority of its stock was
owned by the Arc Light and Power
company.
